What would've happened if Linsanity never happened?

If Linsanity never happened, do you guys think that the Knicks' would've still made the playoffs? or

realize Novak was a good shooter
no more booing of Jared Jefferies
allowed shump to shine even more
revitalized the Knicks
Made Melo and Stat believe they could win

Would you guys still be as optimisitic with the Knicks if none of that had happened? Assuming they continued to lose and didn't make the playoffs. Would you give the excuse of "They need the next season to gel" or "The season was too short"

I think the most glaring was that we never would have thought we have Lin and Novak. They were buried on the bench. Novak owe a lot to Lin for making him shine. Almost nobody knew who he was until Lin started passing to him and discovered what a sharpshooter he is. We almost never thought they existed.

It truly was a perfect storm. Jared, Fields and Shump were also playing better during Linsanity, like they really were playing like they really care about winning. Motivation was in the air and everyone, even other teams fans were enjoying watching the Knicks.

The world would be one inspiring story less.
The Knicks would be 50 million fans less.
Novak would do that belt-wearing thing less.
The value of team play would be stressed less.
The 2013 Knicks will be title less.

NBA not as profitable this year
Novak sending resumes to sporting goods stores around Milwaukee
Warner still at war with MSG
'Linsanity' not a trademark

you guys forgot the most important one. Everyone would think the melo trade was terrible and that they gave up too much for him. Especially when denver is taking the lakers to game 7. So in closing linsanity saved melo from the wrath of knicks fans. Anyone disagree?

If linsanity does not happen.
